Learning Styles - 0 views

  •  
    "The belief in learning styles is so widespread, it is considered to be common sense. Few people ever challenge this belief, which has been deeply ingrained in our educational system. Teachers are routinely told that in order to be effective educators, they must identify & cater to individual students' learning styles; it is estimated that around 90% of students believe that they have a specific learning style but research suggests that learning styles don't actually exist! This presentation focuses on debunking this myth via research findings, explaining how/why the belief in learning styles is problematic, and examining the reasons why the belief persists despite the lack of evidence."

      Would others agree that this has to have something to do with the amount of time and energy we are increasingly afforded to spend on education?

Polyphonic Teaching with Digital Learning Tools | Edutopia - 0 views

  • To understand the framework, it is important to be aware that no form of teaching per se is better than the others. When the teacher plans her teaching, she must choose which of the three forms she wants to practice, based on pedagogical reflections on educational philosophy, the overall purpose of education, the learning objectives and the teacher's and students' prerequisites.
  • In the polyphonic form, the objective is for students and teachers to gain mutual understanding and knowledge through dialogue and collaboration where both parties act as co-learners.
  • Communication within this form of teaching thus becomes polyphonic, and is initiated and controlled by both teacher and students.
  •  
    "assess whether a digital tool is suitable for a monological, dialogical or polyphonic form of teaching. "
